"Your highness, it's nice of you to join us for dinner." After shaking hands with Prince Adi, Gerald Cromwell said, "It has been years since you last visited our manor."
"Yes, it has, but we regularly see each other, pertaining to our gold reserves," reminded the Prince. "You remember my son, Liam."
Gerald looked down at the restless-looking four-year-old and greeted, "Good evening, Prince Liam. A pleasure to have you here in our home."
Turning behind him, Prince Adi introduced, "And you may have heard the businessman who saved Liam's life after he ran across the street from school." Directing with his hand, Prince Adi named the businessman, "This is Mister Kyle Wright. He happens to be the CEO of one of the biggest corporations in the US."
"Mister Wright, this is Gerald Cromwell, the head of the Cromwell family, one of the families who is taking care of the royal family's assets," added the prince.
Kyle came up next to the prince and without
The Cromwells are in for a big surprise!
Veronica's heart was pounding, following Kyle's repeated proposal. With the man hinting that she would be his wife and be part of his family, she was in cloud nine. While Kyle gave no regard whatsoever to her remarkable excitement, Veronica and her mother were nearly teary-eyed, both foreseeing fortune and luck for their family. Veronica though, Kyle was extremely handsome and she and her mother definitely took Prince's Adi's word for it! Who wouldn't? Surely, the royal family's sources were accurate! All the Cromwells have missed seeing Kyle's indifference, merely focusing on the good luck that has come to them. Even Diana, who at first thought Kyle was snobbish, felt grateful that their family business will finally be saved! After Gerald's approval to Kyle's terms, everyone waited for the man to turn his attention to Veronica. Silenced engulfed them, fixating their eyes at Kyle's gaze. To their bewilderment, however, Kyle a
As Gerald made his walk to the stairs, he hissed, shaking his head with the thought of Kyle Wright. He understood well how blunt the man was, especially when talking about his granddaughter, Veronica. At first, he was unsure how to take it, but he felt he did not have any other choice! They were in desperate need of help, and Prince Adi seemed to like him. As part of the monarch, who wouldn't? There were talks about Kyle Wright building a hotel in Freedonia, an added investment to their small nation. "Stop it, Gerald. What's important now is to convince Gaby." He supposed Kyle Wright was just being harshly honest, and perhaps his granddaughter's traits were the reason he could not get Alistair to marry Veronica. When he made it to Gabrielle's room, he instructed, "Gaby. Come down with me. Wear something presentable. I will introduce you to the prince and a businessman with whom the royal family has made an alliance." Gabrielle was standing by he
"Mister Cromwell, is it true that you were trying to get in between Mister Wright and your granddaughter, Gaby? Despite them already being engaged?" Prince Adi probed while his brows further met. "I - I. Well, Prince Adi, you see. Marriage alliances have long been practiced in our country. And because - because Alistair Howard wanted to marry Gaby, we brought her here to fulfill her duties, one that her mother was not able to do so," Gerald answered reluctantly. His voice could not help but shudder as he spoke. "So you think! One Alistair Howard - the Howards! A family of thieves is better than Mister Kyle Wright!" At that point, the prince rose from his seat, angered by hearing the name. Turning to Kyle, he finally understood why the man put in so much effort in disclosing the Howards' long deceit to the royal family. At the prince's counter, Gerald found himself swallowing air down his throat. He sensed his throat dry up, struggling to answer. Again and aga

[Miss Swan, Mister Wright has returned to the office] Holding a glass of water in her hand, Lyla Swan's eyes widened, hearing the news that Kyle had returned. For weeks, she had heard the news of Gabrielle fleeing from their engagement, and Lyla hoped that she could take Gabrielle's place! It was more than two weeks ago that she got in touched with Kate again, pretending to be sorry for Gabrielle being missing.

On one fine Sunday evening, right at the intersection of Hollywood Highland, people began to crowd around the venue for the 85th Film Awards! The stars were shining brightly that night, along with the celebrities that had started to walk the five-hundred feet long red carpet! One by one, limos arrive at the designated drop-off area, and while many of the fans were thrilled to see their favorite actors and actresses, a significant number were eager to see the newcomer, Gabrielle Taylor, turn up at the biggest theater in the city! Among the newcomers, Gabrielle was the one nominated for such an honorable award; The Best Actress! From inside a luxury vehicle, Gabrielle saw how they were next in line to open their doors to the public. She sighed, looking at Kyle, and said, "I'm nervous." "Don't be. I'm not even nervous when I have not been to anything close to these kinds of events," explained Kyle. He reached for her hand and squeezed it tight. "
Coincidentally, the person to read the nominees for the best actress award was none other than Tommy Hawks, the same man who interviewed Gabrielle a few months back. He came out, giving a bit of humor before he finally started mentioning names, "Ladies and gentlemen, here are the nominees for performance by an actress in a leading role." "Joyce Rose. To Love Again." "Rita Wood. Home." "Jane Willows. Obscure." "Lina South. In The Abyss." "Gaby Taylor. The Fallen Princess' Return." One by the one, the cameras focused on each actress nominated for the best actress award. Each gave their smiles, averting gazes and fluttering eyes. Even Gabrielle tried to look away from the camera, turning a second shy at the mention of her name. Eventually, Tommy opened the envelope in his hand and announced, "And the award goes to..." He looked at the audience and resumed with a louder tone, "Gaby Taylor." The entire theatr
[WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS R-18. IT CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS] "Mmmm." Lying against Kyle from inside a jacuzzi bath, Gabrielle gasped. Beneath the water, she was rubbing her entire back against the man's torso. She felt his solid chest, the firmness of his abs, and the hardness of his angry rod, settling in between her two-round flesh! After midnight, following the awards ceremony, the couple was getting at it, starting from the bathroom of their hotel suite! Gabrielle flushed, turning to Kyle with dreamy eyes, and said, "Kyle, you are so - so big - Ahh!" She instantly moaned as soon as Kyle reached for her bosom, massaging one with one hand and playing with her nipple.For seconds, Kyle lingered on her buds before his hand slowly crept in between her thighs. Yet again, it left Gabrielle gasping and wailing. Resting her head on his shoulders, Gabrielle's chest heaved repeatedly, feeling his
